More than a third of one-bedroom apartments in the District rent for above $2,000/month, which should probably not come as a surprise to those who have been looking for a rental in the city.

The findings were released on Wednesday as part of a Trulia study that looked at the rental rates for one-bedroom and two-bedroom rentals in cities across the country.

Specifically, 37.8 percent of one-bedrooms in the city are renting for above $2,000 a month. In the sub-markets of Downtown, Logan Circle, Shaw and Mount Vernon Square, over 75 percent of one-bedrooms are renting for above that monthly rental rate. Adams Morgan, Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle come close; more than half of one-bedrooms in those areas rent for $2,000 or more.

Unsurprisingly, San Francisco tops the list with the highest prevalence of pricey one-bedrooms. 90.6 percent of one-bedroom rentals in the city rent for $2,000 or more and 15.3 percent rent for above $3,000.

The study also looks at two-bedroom rental rates in DC, where the median rate is $2,700 a month. Georgetown (76%), West End (74%) and Downtown (73.6%) came out with the highest percentage of two-bedrooms with rents above $3,000 a month. Interestingly, Georgetown and West End were not in the top three for the one-bedroom rent analysis.

The graphic above shows a clear demarcation between neighborhoods inside DC where expensive one-bedrooms make up more than half of the neighborhood’s rental market to areas where these units are barely existent.
